Presidential race News

New research shows that Barack Obama is slightly ahead of Mitt Romney in the final days of the presidential campaign after a week of deadlock. Obama’s increases in support appear to have come from women, older voters, and political moderates.

Barack Obama may have been a disappointment as the candidate of change, but the alternatives in 2012 are a Christian Zionist who may well start World War III, and a woman who would allow the unemployed to starve.

With 69% of the votes counted, the National Office of Electoral Processes (ONPE) reported that candidate Ollanta Humala has consolidated in the first place with 28.7% of the votes, which assures him a place in the second round on June 5.

As the political campaigns round the final turn in the race for the President of the United States, the once human elements that have been nearly nonexistent may fully disappear as both sides continue to look for that "political bomb." Rumors!

Barack Obama hopes to appoint a Chief Technology Officer. John McCain wants to award $300 million to the inventor of an eco-friendly car battery. Now more than ever, the tech policies of candidates are under scrutiny as wired voters have their say.

Brit Russell Brand's rant against Americans and campaigning for Obama on MTV illustrates a recent phenomenon with European Socialists: making a national sport of slamming Americans and meddling in our politics. Maybe it's time to buy them some mirrors.

A clear majority of the American voting public is hungering for an independent presidential candidacy. How the other candidates react to Nader could determine how well the 74-year-old consumer advocate will fare this time around.

Superdelegates have never had to be called out to make the ultimate decision on who is the contender for the President of the United States. That is until now. The Democratic nominee is a toss up this year. Who will make the final choice?

When Hillary Clinton announced her bid for the much coveted 2008 Presidential seat, there were no gasps of disbelief from anyone. Since her husband Bill occupied the oval office back in 1993, she has none too secretly nursed similar aspirations.

Another dim star has winked out in the lackluster constellation of Republican Presidential candidates. Fred Thompson, whose half hearted curmudgeonly campaign never really had much fire to begin with, had finally sputtered and gone out like a damp match.

I have been in great favor of narrowing the field after so many months of political campaigning in a season that seemed to start right after the 2006 elections with no breathing room in between and Thompson is bowing out at an appropriate time.

While the outcome on who will win the respective Democratic and Republican primary elections on Super Tuesday along with who wins the actual election is still unclear, the 2008 race could pretty much be the most expensive one in history.

How many times have you wished for just that option when going in to vote? Your just doing your duty by voting but you feel none of the candidates are either not qualified or you are disatisfied for whatever reason with the current crop that are running.
